Blizzard Beach was full today (4/6/25) - hotel guests turned away

[Mambo Junkie]

We are arriving in June and after reading about people being turned away, I'm wondering the value of planning a water park day on arrival. We are in for a short stay, and the time could be better used at a park, but the kids really want to go to the water park. I just don't want to waste my time planning for this and then having to change last minute.
I realize both parks will be open but being at capacity is no fun either. Better to plan to go to another water park offsite, and just skip the "perk"? If we do plan to go, which park is bigger, or which is more popular? We went to one of the Glo Nights last year and I thought it was fairly crowded then.

Is there still even direct transportation from the resorts to Blizzard Beach by bus anymore? I thought it was just one or two resorts that have that now.

It is as @kyleene said,

Coronado and the All Stars have direct buses to BB. Everyone else has to take a bus to AK and transfer there. Not sure about AKL.

Reality is though, if buses were still going between AK and BB then the park was not at capacity to all guests and was likely still accepting resort guests.

We have not had any reports of guests being denied access to BB via Disney bus on any date. The buses would be stopped and signage posted and to date we have not had any reports of this happening.

Just trying to keep this thread as factual as possible to assist guests planning on visiting a WP.

If you have attempted to visit a WP in 2025 and were travelling by Disney Bus, were you ever denied entry to a bus or, to the water park when you arrived via Disney Bus, due to the water park being at capacity?
